1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionA number of nuclear medicine procedures significantly dropped worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic. Every nuclear medicine department has faced changed working environment in terms of the type of requested procedures, number of requests and personal protection issues. Also, some specificities emerged that affect standard operating procedures.

aimThe aim here is to present different clinical scenarios related to RT PCR molecular testing and COVID-19-associated pulmonary findings on PET/CT in oncologic patients.

methodsA case series of four patients imaged on oncologic PET/CT is presented. Short clinical history followed by description of significant PET/CT findings and their importance from the perspective of COVID-19 pandemic and interpretation of PET/CT findings is presented.

conclusionPET/CT imaging remains of paramount importance for oncologic patients during the pandemic. Under the unprecedented circumstances, interpretation of PET/CT findings has become more complex having some specificities that must be kept in mind.
